Or just use "?" which is a wildchar.

@King Durin:
For typing inverse chars you press CTRL + 9 on a real C64 or TAB + 9 if you're using Vice emu.

To get the space you just hold shift and press a.

To turn off typing inverse chars you press CTRL + 0 on a real C64 or TAB + 0 if you're using Vice emu.

Hope that helps :)

When trying to load a Koala image, the dialog has a reversed spade followed by "PIC " and then you can enter a file name. How do you name a file with the reversed spade? I've tried naming my Koala files with just "PIC " in front but it won't load them.

Well, this is so useful... Delicious!
Thank you for this amazing tool, it sure gives graphician's and coder's time and nerves :P.

@Joe:
This is not a fail because of the program, it's because of you actually :P.
Real fail is here:

No... I don't know what the hell happened here. Seriously, pixels started disappearing from the screen with very slowly... WTF But I still could control the cursor.
A simple reset fixed it :).

Yes, it means the given picture is too complex and cannot be packed into a single charset. Thus you need to make adjustments to your picture or split it at some region to 2 different pictures (top half, bottom half to be able to have use 2 charsets later with raster splits) to generate 2 (or more) charsets. The goal for this tool was to pack one or more pictures (e.g. big characters) into one single charset.

Outstanding tool! The 'Converting aborted' error occurs when your gfx has more than 256 distinct chars.

@Deekay: I have a whole bunch of tools to do stuff like this; created most of them when I worked on Revolution and Electronaut. None of them have nifty UI's though, since I already know what I want them to do =)

Big love for this!
AFAIK the only converter that allows converting several bitmap screens into one single charset... So this is the only tool you can use if you f.ex. wanna do some huge scrolling logo!
